December 21, 2012 The End

As you may know by now, according to Mayan prophecy on 12-21-12 the world may end as we know it.  I had some time on my hands, so I was in Barnes and Noble and happened across December 21, 2012 For Dummies.  Yes, there is a book with that title, and many more books I discovered.  I chose the For Dummies book since that we the level of my knowledge on the subject.

Basically they say that leading up to 12-21-12 the Government and Religions will let us down and lead us astray.  They could have added Wall Street and been complete.  They say resources will be scarce.  Well I think we have seen that trend, at least since the March 2009 lows. With Asia’s growth, I think that is safe prediction.  End times are loosley interpreted, with at least one way of looking at it, there will be an awakening of some sorts. There is probably many different versions of what that might be from biblical to new age.  But out with the old and in with the new way of thinking might not be so bad.

I just hope we don’t make this a Y2K repeat. Remember back at this same time in 1999 when the media got the whole country historical and convinced nothing was going to work at midnight on 12-31-1999 because all the computers were going to fail which would shut down our whole system, including banking, airports, you name it.  There were “specials” on TV and radio, books, newsletters cropped up to tell people how to survive and people got really scared.  But mostly I remember how people reacted and got really scared. They withdrew cash from banks, stocked up on food, bought new computer systems and hunkered down which really is not that bad except for the fear part.  Always a good idea to be prepared in case of any emergency.  Then midnight on 12-31-1999 came and went without any problems to note.  But the point is that people got really really scared and I would hate to see that happen again over something like this.

Oh by the way, Nov 2012 is a presidential election year also.  The media is going to love this.  In the spot light will be the preachers, the politicians and the doomsayers. If enough is not going on, London will host the 2012 olympics - see their proposed logo at the top of this post.  Can you believe how bad this 2012 olympics logo is…  but looks appropriate for the end of the world.
Remind me to cancel my cable TV before 2012! But I will keep my Internet because I can look at what I want to, not what is forced upon me.
